2006 Audio

From CyberOne Wiki

Welcome to the 2006 Winter Evidence Audio File page. Here you will find links to clips from last year's course. These files range in length from 1-18 minutes, with a majority on the short end. The idea is to give you access to past explanations and accounts, so that you can get a fuller sense of the course material. Those accessing the course remotely will also have a chance to experience short clips without the lag time apparent in a video recording.

The clips are organized by last year's date, with explanatory file names. Click on a link to access the audio file.
